Summary/Abstract: Shaping social memory is a political task spread between two poles – the pole of force andthe pole of justice. On the one side, memory becomes the means of multiplying politicalpower. On the other, memory becomes the registration of that which refuses to be utilized,or even made sense of. What is possible between these two poles is resolution by confl ict– a poison which serves to cure the political community. Th e diff erent memory types willbe analysed using Friedrich Nietzsche’s, as well as Paweł Śpiewak’s, refl ections on interpretingthe diffi cult 20th-century history.
